    Restoring old cars rather than buying one is also environmentally more beneficial. But noone is talking about it cause it doesn't increase sales.

    As a car guy these people are doing God's work restoring/preserving Automotive History. Wish all the success to you guys.

    '80s, '90: golden era for cars made in Germany. They were designed by engineers. Later on they realised their cars last too long and it was only downhill for German cars after that.

    What a lovely couple. They are doing the environment a great service by recycling and restoring these vehicles

    You know you married your soul mate when she you both have the same passion for something that isn't ordinary and common.

    I love those guys. I can absolutely relate to their passion keeping cars on the road. Too much effort, blood sweat and tears have gone into engineering and building those cars to let them rot.

    It is a rare ‘96 C43…when the C43 wasn’t produced will ‘98 with an inline 6 powered 3.6 for ‘96. Great video though and glad to see the Merc’s receiving love there!
